Anyone tried a fat fast? I am considering a fat fast to push me into ketosis. Been doing the research. stay under 1000 cals and everything is 90% fat. ie: cream cheese, sugar free peanut butter, heavy whipping cream, deviled eggs. They say 4-5 small meals a day of 200-250 cals. I might have to wait until after the weekend and do it while working so I'm too busy to feel deprived. They say don't do it longer than 5 days due to lack of protein. I don't think I could go that long. 1-3 days is what I'm thinking. Depending on how hungry I get.

Good news is I've dropped 5# of the 10# water weight gain. I am still bloated in my hands and feet so I still have some water to lose. I predict I will be at my last weigh in weight buy the end of the weekend. Now to stay focused.

Hi! I started a fat fast today as have had good success with Atkins the first time I used it. Lost over 50 lbs (from 254 to around 200) that was three years ago, and have put back on between 10 to 15, and really need to get that 15 and another 15 off. SO tried Atkins' twice over last 18 months and both times couldn't reach ketosis so trying fat fast. I exercise at least 6 or 7 times a week for hour but am going to increase the intensity this week. Will post how it goes.
